A few sighs from hell, or, The groans of a damned soul. Or, An exposition of those words in the sixteenth of Luke, concerning the rich man and the beggar : wherein is discovered the lamentable state of the damned : their cries, their desires in their distresses, with the determination of God upon them. A good warning word to sinners, both old and young, to take into consideration betimes, and to seek by faith in Jesus Christ to avoid, lest they come into the same place of torment. Also a brief discourse touching the profitableness of the Scriptures for our instruction in the way of righteousness, according to the tendency of the said parable. / By that poor and contemptible servant of Jesus Christ, John Bunyan.A few sighs from hell, or, The groans of a damned soul.

It is like that if sinners might have their choice, they would not have their sins and transgressions so much in remembrance; ⟨p. 81⟩as is evident by their carriages here in this world: for here they will not endure to entertain a serious thought of their filthy life, but will labour by all means to put the thought of it out of their mind: but there they shall be made to remember to a purpose, and to think continually of their ungodly deeds. And therefore it is said that when our Lord Jesus comes to judgement, it will be to convince the ungodly world of their wicked and ungodly deeds. Mark, To convince them. Jude 14, 15. It is like they will not willingly take notice of them: But they shall be convinced of them in spite of their teeth. And also between this and them, these that die out of Christ shall be made to see, acknowledge, and confess, do what they can, when they lift up their eyes in hell, and to remember their transgressions. God will be a swift witness against them. Mat. 3.5. and will say, Remember what thou didst in thy life time, how thou didst live in thy life time. Ha friend! if thou dost not in these days of light remember the days of darkness, Eccles, 11.8. (the days of death, hell, and judgement) thou shalt ⟨p. 82⟩be made in the days of darkness, death, hell, and at the judgement too, to remember the days of the Gospel, and how thou didst disregard them too, to thy own destruction and everlasting misery.
